COVID-19: The world just reported its highest number of cases in a single day
TORONTO -- More than 136,000 cases of the novel coronavirus were reported to the World Health Organization on Sunday, the most reported in a single day so far during the pandemic, prompting a stark warning that the outbreak is getting worse globally.
“We also see increasing numbers of cases in parts of Eastern Europe and central Asia. At the same time, we’re encouraged that several countries around the world are seeing positive signs.”Yet, despite signs of improvement in some regions, the WHO urged global leaders to continue with their efforts to contain the disease, noting that the scale of the pandemic is worsening globally and has yet to peak in central America.
“Results from studies to see how much of the population has been exposed to the virus show that most people globally are still susceptible to infection,” he said during the online briefing. Ontario and Quebec, the provinces worst hit by the outbreak, reported positive numbers Monday, with Ontario reporting its lowest number of new cases in more than two months.
